My Husband is the Emperor : I Woke Up With a Husband

Li Jun Wei proceed to tell Li Lian what he had discussed with Shun and Shin through phone the afternoon. His mind went back to where he had just learned about the chronic illness the Old Master had and it was during that time when Shun said, "Akasaka Naomi then said she wanted both of us. One to marry and the other to kept, like a pet," a clear distaste could be heard between Shun’s words as he spoke, "In exchange for that, she will ask Haruhi to drop his idea of marrying Li Lian and would stop bother her life."

Once Li Jun Wei repeat Shun’s words to Li Lian, her eyes turned wide. She was shocked, "What? But Shun, Shin, and Haruhi’s brother never met before. How come she suddenly took interest on them?"

"Apparently they have met before in a club when Shun and Shin went to a mission. They both told me that one of them kissed Naomi— Shin told me to make sure you know it was the girl who was the one to kiss him first," Li Jun Wei replied, his last sentence contain a little robotic tone.

Li Lian pressed her fingers on her forehead, "What are they doing?" She sighed, "But why did Shun and Shin called you?" She then came to ask. Li Jun Wei and her twin brothers have met before but she wondered if their relationship had proceed so quickly that they would share their concern together. Was there anything she missed?

A smile set on Li Jun Wei’s lips as he shrugged his shoulders, "They told me that they weren’t able to discuss this matter with either your grandfather or Kei as they would immediately deny the offer while they are thinking if there would be a way for them to use this as a chance to flip the offers," and Li Lian agreed with her brothers’ thought as she could imagine both Kei and her grandfather would immediately put a lid to the offer Naomi tendered without evaluating the pros and cons as they were keen on the idea of not sacrificing anyone for the better good.

Coming closer, Li Jun Wei traced his fingers on her cheeks, gaining her beautiful brown eyes to look at him, "I have gained your brothers’ trust. Don’t you think I might be acceptable well in your family back in Japan?"

For some reason over his words, Li Lian recalled the moment where Li Jun Wei punished the Jin Family. His action was very much similar to what Yakuza would do that cause her to laugh, "I think they would welcome you with hands spread open. What is the process with Wei Tsui Lan?"

"Before that I found something during the investigation of Akasaka Haruhi. Zheng Xuan helped me with it," Li Jun Wei said and Li Lian nodded. After meeting Akasaka Haruhi for the first time, many things stood out in Li Lian and she was sure the man was hiding more things in her than other could see or tell.

"Thankfully we have Zheng Xuan with us," Li Lian said which Li Jun Wei agreed with. Although the man might have turn into a bystander on the past, he had shown that he could turn into a better person. Not to disregard his technical skills that could put shame to all hackers Li Jun Wei hired that even had him to weigh whether or not hiring Zheng Xuan for himself. "What did it said?"

"We found about his past," Li Jun Wei had the document with him and left it out from the large brown envelope but didn’t read it as he remembered most of the letters contain. "It was said that his mother was the first wife of the late Head of Akasaka. He was born healthy but his size was a little smaller than normal babies which had him to be put on incubator for weeks and apparently two years later it was then when his younger sister was brought to the world by the second wife. Haruhi faced good and a normal life. He was describe to be a little quiet but a very obedient boy."

"So different than now that I can only think the report is forged by someone else," Li Lian commented and then frowned, finding how strange the report was, "If I am not wrong, Haruhi killed his own father and mother. Yet from what I have heard, he had a very good and enjoyable life, seeing that the second wife bore a daughter, there won’t be fights for the position of the head so he should not meet any discrimination or bullying inside the house. And even if that were to happen, his father would not allow it to happen as he is the next successor. Was there any fraction between the second wife and the first wife?"

Li Jun Wei shook his head, saying, "The second wife died not soon after from an illness."

Li Lian raised her brows, unable to help but said, "Huh? But I heard he killed his mother too," then when it come to dawned in her, a sudden goosebumps appeared on her arms, causing Li Lian to rub her forearms, "He didn’t kill his step mother but his own mother?" and when Li Jun Wei nodded, Li Lian wanted to ask why but then she realized, was there a way for a normal people who was born and raised with morale to understand what happened on the mind of a psychopath?

"Why do I feel like we are not going anywhere and instead getting further to know of Haruhi as a bloodless cold hearted monster?" murmured Li Lian.

"We are not wrong on naming him that, but not also quite close to the truth," Li Jun Wei said as he moved to cross his legs, "This is one source Zheng Xuan took from a rather trustable investigating company, but there is another side which he found only after going through personal investigations with the servants who once worked inside Akasaka House."

Servants who work in the house was the best source of informations, thought Li Lian. "Was the story said by the private investigator and what Xuan found was very different in contrast."

"It’s world apart. That day it wasn’t only Haruhi who was born but Haru at the same time," Li Jun Wei said, seeing Li Lian’s expression from confusion slowly turn to a surprise as she reached and epiphany, "The first wife of the head bore twins not a single son. The daughter was then named Haru. I was thinking about what you say when Haruhi’s voice sounded very much like a woman’s. This might be the reason."
